Driver installation

[human1987]

Cool guys! I bought a PowerColor Radeon 9800PRO 128MB card!
How do i do the driver installation?
I think there are some installation i done wrongly or so, because it seems to be lagging in games (previously no problem when i use a fx5200)...

What i installed is this..
Microsoft’s .NET Version 1.1 Framework installed.
and
the graphics driver from:

What else should i do?

Did you uninstall the previous cards' drivers before installing the new? Sometimes this can play up if not done.

Yes, uninstalled it via Add/Remove and done a reboot.

What about checking out the drivers from Powercolors site instead? Might be better version http://www.power-color.com/

hrmmm, others will probably jump in with ideas too hopefully...

try downloading Everest home edition and do some benchmark tests and see how it compares with the other profiles they have charted.

Short of that I might get told by some that it is not necessary, but maybe a little top up on RAM might help too ;)

Monitor your PC's performance chart and running processes, graphics settings etc

Make sure directX is up to date too.
